Bio
Hello! I live in sunny north Texas but am a native north easterner, where I loved doing gymnastics and playing outside, especially in the snow! After moving to Texas as a teen, I was lucky enough to get to own a horse. As an animal lover, I've also owned a great german shepherd, numerous cats, and many rabbits (I have 2 right now!). I love hiking & camping. As a teacher, I enjoy getting to know my students' passions so I can try to incorporate examples that include their interests. I LOVE hearing jokes from students to kick off sessions! I believe students learn in many different ways, so I strive to get to know them and what is most enjoyable for them in their journey to mastery. I enjoy trying as many different avenues I can come up with when working with students who are having difficulty with learning specific concepts. Parent input is most definitely wanted! I look forward to helping all students master content and do so in a fun, interactive way that is memorable!
Teacher Specialization
I received my bachelor's degree in Photography (minor in French) from Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, TX, and followed it up with a Master's of Education with emphases in curriculum & instruction and physical education from Texas A&M University. I've taught all subjects in grades K, 1, 3, 4 & 5, for a combined total of 28 years, including ESL, SPED & special needs students, and tutored grades 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 in all subjects as well, with an emphasis on math, reading and writing.
